Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy

This is my new Sunday roast recipe. It's just like having roast beef except it's pork and it's makes it's own gravy in the slow cooker! I like to use thick cut boneless pork chops because they shred so nicely. The recipe says to season the chops before putting them in the slow cooker, but I have tried just mixing all seasonings together with the soup and broth and then adding the pork, and it works just fine.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops and Gravy
adapted from thesaltymarshmallow.com
2-3 lbs pork chops, bone-in or out
1 packet Ranch dressing mix
1 packet brown gravy mix
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 10.5oz can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 TBSPs cornstarch
2 TBSPs water

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with the ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and pepper
2. In a large slow cooker whisk together the brown gravy mix, cream of chicken soup, and beef broth. Add the seasoned pork chops to the slow cooker.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Remove the pork chops carefully from the slow cooker onto a plate.
4. Strain liquid to remove any remaining chunks and pour into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. While liquid is heating, in small bowl stir together the cornstarch and water. Once the liquid has reached a low boil, add the cornstarch mixture and whisk until gravy thickens. Remove from heat when thickened. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice and garnish with parsley if desired.
